she lives

Luke 8:54-56
"54 And He put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, ARISE.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and He commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but He charged them that they should TELL NO MAN what was done."

SHE LIVES!!!
How mind blowing this whole event was for Jairus! He went to Jesus as a last resort. He risked everything to save his little girl. He was told she was dead. Jesus told Jairus; "...Fear not: BELIEVE ONLY, and she shall be made whole." 

When they arrived at Jairus's home, the family and friends that gathered did NOT respect Jesus and are very belligerent. They know that Jairus's daughter is dead. They did not know that Jesus is GOD! 

Today's verses tell us what happened next; "And He put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, ARISE. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and He commanded to give her meat. And her parents were astonished: but He charged them that they should TELL NO MAN what was done."

I'm not sure how that works out. "...TELL NO MAN what was done." The family and friends gathered there are going to want to know HOW she came BACK TO LIFE!!! They are going to talk about the way she died, they all knew she died. And, now SHE LIVES!!!" It's not something that can be hidden or even secret.

And, what a BLESSING that this young woman will grow up and have children of her own that she can tell them about our Lord and Savior! She has already faced death and was resurrected. She has first hand experience with Jesus's LOVE, GRACE and COMPASSION. Experience we will all have someday. Praise the Lord. Amen!

These daily devotionals are inspired by the sermon at Holy Ghost Lutheran Church in Fredericksburg Texas. You can watch it by following this link...

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

The Bread of Life

John 6:33-35 "33 For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." We were studying GOD'S Covenant symbolized by the RAINBOW. It's a VERY important message to know that the Great Flood will NOT happen again. When we see the RAINBOW we want to remember this Covenant. We also want to remember our own Covenant with GOD and how the waters of Baptism washed us clean and gives us the promise of eternal life. This week we will study another Covenant from GOD; The Covenant of Holy Communion. Instituted by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In today's verses He gave us a deep insight into how important and connected this promise from GOD is; "For the BREAD of GOD is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the wo...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.
